TT for PDA can receive TMC only over the internet (TT Traffic), and even with that has problems interpreting the messages correctly.

iGO and Route 66 currently support the OpenTMC HyperGPS driver via Royaltek protocol, Route 66 in Germany might even support TMCPro with a 60 euro one-off license for RDS (anybody tested on HD?)

Only if you have superb radio reception the headset or a minijack antenna would not be required. Your software might misinterpret the HyperGPS function that regardless of a headset being used the navi audio should go to internal speaker.

Hey Guys,

nice work, really.

Which version of iGo you are using?

I have tried the 8.3.2.x and i cant get the TMC working on iGo. HyperGPS is working and receiving the required data, but the iGo didnt see the Receiver..

Any ideas?

Thanks.

I allso use Igo 8.3.2.83157!

The service is currently unavailable in Romania? :confused:

It is important if the GPS is connected on COM4 at 57600 and TMC on com 9? Must be the same com port? IGO TMC Royaltek driver not found although I edited sys.txt !?Any suggestions? :confused:
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] kikiller:

You're close to make my dreams come true... :D

I still have some problems under Igo (no data found) but i'm sure to be close...

Traffic Message Channel (TMC) is a technology for delivering traffic and travel information to drivers. It is typically digitally coded using the FM-RDS system on conventional FM radio broadcasts.

Hey guys..

Thanks for this wonderfull piece of work!! Works perfect!!!

Now I found this thing :http://www.amazon.de/Kurzstabantenne...189608&sr=8-15

And I thought I could use it instead of the original wired headset..

What do you think? Will it work? It has a 3,5 mm plug so it should.. or not?

Works great here. I haven't tested it on the road, but in my apartment it works perfectly. And it starts up fine every time I start iGO.

I use a short set of headphones as an antenna (about 30-40 cm long).

Since I have Dutty's 3.7 XT ROM, I only had to install the HyperGPS cab.

Thanks Starbase64!! And btw - the youtube video was a great idea. It helps to actually see someone do it.

I can't get teh HGPS_switch to work (probably cause I'm stupid or too tired for thinking).

I use iGO R8.3.2.83157 and have the HyperGPS Beta 5 installed.

I don't get it working with the link (I know how to create a link using Total Commander/Resco. But what is the HGPS_Switch.exe file suppose to do? It doesn't launch my iGO8 or the HyperGPS client.

I have the HGPS_Switch.exe file in my /storagecard/iGO8 folder together with my iGO8.exe file. Where should the NavApp.lnk go and what should it be a link to?

Solution found:

Ok, ok: I got it! With HyperGPS Beta 5 the HGPS is automatically installed in the HyperGPS folder in the device. And by placing a cpoy of iGO8.exe in that folder together with a link to the iGO8.exe in the /storagecard/iGO8 folder if worked.

Next stepp I did was to create i shortcut to the HGPS_Switch.exe in the windows/start-menu/program folder so I can launch it from the Program tab of my HD.

Sorry for asking stupid qustions.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] ser00405:
Can someone tell me which connector/pin is used for the antenna?

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] jacox123:
Works great!!!

I've been using iGo8 with HGPS_Switch for a few weeks now and it works great on my HTC Touch HD. Hardware is recognized each time, even autotuning for scanning TMC stations works also very well! Thought that it was not supported.... I'm using my headphones as antenna en reception of TMC stations is excellent. Most commercial and public stations also broadcast the TMC signal so coverage is also very good.

Anyway if anyone wants to try it as well, these are my settings in system.ini

They've been used with iGo 8.3 and beta5.

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] peter7:
My issue is that I never get the right TMC signals - always g....and g... but never RTTMC

which is necessary !

So before I even try IGO the hyper software doesn`t work for me and this is awfulk because I`m trying so many hours....

What is wrong ???
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] twanj:
igo can't find tmc, nut it's there :S

I had igo running with tmc :) so i decided to try amigo, to see how that felt. (both are on my device at the same time)

Somehow igo doesn't 'see' the tmc signal. When i run hypergps and test the freq it shows that there is a tmc signal.

Also when i check this with XMFradio it shows tmc signal, but igo does not see it..i can scan through the freq and it recognizes a channel, but helas no tmc.

BTW i could not run the normal hypergps cab so i used hypergps_wm6_SDK instead, maybe this is useful.

Anybody seen this before? Or any suggestions?

Thanks

FM 100.0

Hi,

Thank you for this awesome program! I've waited a long time for TMC to work, and now it does! However, there is a known issue with frequencies over 100.0 on FM. Any chance of fixing it? It happens to be on exactly that frequency we have TMC :-(

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] simon12345:
Hi,

I found this software on the weekend and also discovered 2 solutions to get the navigation audio without having to put the headset on.

If you are using a BT car kit or headset you can lauch a programme such as BT Audio before lauching the navigation software. Then when every command is spoken by the navigation software it will come through the BT device. This is perfect for me because it will also interupt the music I am listending to on the car stereo first.

I found the BT software here - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=381983&highlight=btaudiotoggle. You have to copy the file BTAudioToggle or BTOn to Device memory /windows/Start Menu/Programs/ to be able to lauch it from start menu.

The other open I found this afternoon is with an external arial/antenna.

I purchasing the following cable a couple of hours ago.........http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=29528

This has a couple of pins missing compared to a standard headphone connection. The result is that it is working as an antenna but all the audio is still coming from the Blackstone speaker.

Now if I can only find a way to get the frequencies working over 100 Mhz I will be very happy :)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] craigdabbs:
I had the same problem with going over 100MHz with IGo8. It would freeze and say hardware not found. Its a known bug with version 6 so i went back to version 5 and its working perfectly. I assume people have set the options to display all TMC messages in igo and not just ones on route ?

Also in the UK there are 2 different services for TMC, 1 is on the classic FM channels and the other uses local radio (heart fm). They get there data from different sources so accuracy does vary.

Classic fm gathers data using Trackers on lots of vehicles travelling over the country, + other sources.

Local radio uses sensors on motorways to measure traffic flow and is updated every 4 mins.

All the information is on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traffic_Message_Channel

Hi,

the new HyperGPS Beta 8 is now online in first post.

What is new in Beta 8:

-Full GNS protocol support. Tested under iGO and Navigon

GNS needs TMC+GPS option to be selected althought if it is not, HyperGPS will send fake GPS sentences.

-Less CPU consumption and lower memory footprint

-Optimized test program: Now RSSI is correctly shown under Royaltek mode, unused buttons are hidden under GNS mode and all the behaviour has been polished.

-RDS and TMC indicator in test program.

-Log mode redesigned to make more useful and readable logs.

-Removed fake RDS message under Royaltek mode. Not necessary with correct timmings.

-Soved an issue with block ratio not always sent.

with friendly greet

I have a problem with my HTC touch HD. Hyper GPS B8 is working, but i can't get an TMC frequenty (royaltec) in the testing page (the Netherlands).

IGO reconizes my TMC (only when configured to port 6 instead of 9) but it can't tune in on a TMC signal either (obvious). What am i doing wrong, can someone help me out here? Tnx...

In Hyper GPS i'm only getting $RTRDS messages and once a $RTMC,0,... and $RTMC,2,...
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] twanj:
Will try beta 8 tomorrow. I am just wandering if i will notice a difference between GNS and the previous royaltek.

Will power consumption be lower on GNS and royalrek? Or just using GNS?

Will try and give a update tomorrow?

Thanx for the new version!! Was loving beta 5 already so looking forward!!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] aryan79:
Which are differences between using Royaltek or using GNS??? :confused:
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] rol_xda:
thanks, working on my raphael with the headset and iGo

doesn't work when I switch to my car cradle which acts as a headset (speaker and mic), there must not be a wire to the correct pin of the USB to act as antenna when using the cradle

the pin out for other HTC devices shows the antenna connection, I would guess it will be the same in the raphael, and it looks pretty easy to open up the back of the cradle to see what is inside

cheers

[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] sb09:
Wish I could remember exactly how to set it up, but I can't. What I do remember clearly though is that you have to run it from your PC the first time - it can't be run from the device initially. Did you get the app' onto the device via Activesync? I seem to remember it working through Activesync the first time, but like you I failed to start it on the device, so I'd give up trying that way - it's a waste of time. Persevere with it like I did, and you'll get there!

This is a technic how to improve your battery life in htc touch hd

1 - disable any 3g @ data connection

2 - disable any incoming beam in connection setting

3 - customize the power usage in power setting

4 - disable gps option in gps setting [ recommendation ]

5 - disable any wireless connection in standby

6 - Turn off Bluetooth when not used

7 - Experiment with different Radio ROM's they actually have a big impact on the battery life, depending on your location.

8 - Use Lumos to control the backlight or set it to manual and turn it as low as you like

9 - turn on\off WiFi in specified times

thanks for mccune

this is only way i know how to improve battery life...

hope users here can share with me

thanks :D
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] WinterKnights:
but what if i want to use them all the time? haha.

nice idea though, if you disable them does that mean they wont work unless you re-enable them? or do you just mean "turn off"?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Hileotech:
... or you could just leave your HD switched off all day long, using a 50 $ mobile... because if you switch off all those things that's what our HD would turn into... :p

Kidding, of course.

But why should you buy a 500 bucks pda-phone and not to use wifi, bt, gps and so on?

A way to optimize battery life, IMHO, is to use "clever" ROMs: that's it.

Bye!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] axl30:
and why not turn off for ever?:p
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] core7x:
becoz touch hd battery drain is so quickly :)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] mccune:
Some people really are an expert in posting useless replies :S

If you don't access a WiFi network. Why in earth enable it?

For some people the tricks from the first post might be nothing new. But a lot have WiFi and BT activated even if they don't use it. So Core7x started a nice thread actually. But it should have been in the Blackstone section. Maybe a MOD can move it there.

To add some things to your list:

- Turn off Bluetooth when not used

- Experiment with different Radio ROM's they actually have a big impact on the battery life, depending on your location.

- Use Lumos to control the backlight or set it to manual and turn it as low as you like.

Use a profiler tool to turn on\off WiFi in specified times.
